Nice thread, I too like Magna Flows, not as drony as FMs while cruising down the road. Mandrel bent will flow better but on a stock to street/strip motor you will not notice or feel the difference in seat of the pants meter. All kits tout mandrel bent because that's one of the catch phrases in the performance industry, in reality they mandrel bend because that's the manufacturing process to turn out the kits for the least production cost. I got my system at my local shop, aluminized, 18 inch Magna Flows, plenty of really nice hangers, all tucked up inside the frame rails, very, very good job, $450. No cross over pipe because I did not want anything below the frame.
